Pilbara reports increased July trade
(Posted on 16/08/18)
Pilbara Ports Authority (PPA) has delivered a total monthly throughput of 56.1 million tonnes (Mt) for the month of July 2018. This was an increase of 6% from the same month in 2017.

The Port of Port Hedland achieved a monthly throughput of 41.5Mt. This was an increase of 7% from July 2017. Iron ore exports from the Port of Port Hedland totalled 40.7Mt, an increase of 7% from July last year.

Imports through the Port of Dampier totalled 108,000 tonnes, an increase of 52% from the same month last year.
